Ixtlan Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I’m curious to hear peoples opinions on how much longer Axl should continue to tour. I don’t want to see a 70 year old Axl performing live. So two tours left total. I assume Slash will perform live until death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundOfAGun Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 He should jack it in now, he must have bankrolled his final decades from the last six years and he sounds like shit nowadays. Get back in the studio and record some songs line by line like he did in the good old days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020_Intensions Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I don't see him touring much longer ... Possibly 1-2 more years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cineater Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 As long as it makes him happy. It's not work if you enjoy what you are doing. Lots of options on how to do that. I think people will be happy to see him anytime he wants to show up. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gordon Comstock Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 He really fucked himself over by not releasing more material that he could sing in the long run. I can't see a 65-70 year old Axl going out on tour and doing Jungle, Better, YCBM, etc. and honestly he should've retired those songs by now anyway. I could see him doing some occasional Vegas residencies after he's retired GNR, doing piano songs, covers, acoustic songs, telling stories, etc. Realistically I think he's got maybe 5 years of touring left, and then we'll never hear from him again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I think once Guns calls it quits we'll likely never hear of or see Axl ever again. In terms of time frame, who knows. I do believe that having Slash and Duff in the band has made things easier on Axl in some respect. Less of a need to prove himself as Guns N' Roses. Plus all of that money he's raking in certainly helps. I think two to five years is a good guess in terms of how long we can expect to see Axl in public. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SoulMonster Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 He should continue to tour as long as he wants to. If he does that, then I will be happy for him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chester 524 Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 everyone ages differently. 30 years ago I would have said I never want to see Axl tour as a 60 year old. but today I'm looking forward to seeing him again. No, he doesn't sound or look the same, but once GNR is done for good, my youth is officially gone. I think he will go as long as he can physically and mentally do it, so maybe another 10 years. and then he will open a tiger zoo with Joe Exotic. just kidding..... I think. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurhamGirl Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I think this tour will be the last and we wont see him again. I do wonder if he has enjoyed any of this journey, maybe when he was starting out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love Axl Rose Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) 5-6 years. I think when Axl retires there’s a chance we’ll see a few of his interviews, and perhaps he publish an autobiography. There is a better chance that we will see Axl talking about his life and career after he retires than now while he is still active and touring.

WhazUp Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Paul Rogers is 72 and still killin' it, I think that Axl especially in a Mickey-ified state could keep things going until then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Axl will tour as long as Slash and Duff are in GN'R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It would be nice to think he would adapt and do speaking tours, guest spots, producing or whatever but there's a good chance Downzy is right and he'll become a rarer sight than the Loch Ness Monster. It's very rare to hear anything of him now when the band is on hiatus. I hope he finishes his autobiography one day soon but I'm not optimistic.

Bitchisback Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 i think he will tour semi regularly into his late 60s, and then we will see maybe a few more tours once he moves into his 70s. i really think there is at least 7 or 8 more years of touring the world though. he seems to love it and the crowds keep showing up. when he turns 67 we will see a "final tour ever" and then we will see a "we're f'n back" tour 5 years later when he wants to travel again. orrrrrr until Slash leaves :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnrcane Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 It's unpredictable. That's why I see them every tour even though Axl is far from his prime. You never know which show will be the last time you ever see them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
